Our Review

The upside down “Check Cashing” sign that marks Coterie’s entrance isn’t a joke—it’s a nod to the Fremont Street storefront’s past life. In 2012, the shop reopened as a sprawling Downtown Project-funded boutique and co-working space where the wi-fi is free and 20-somethings on laptops can type alongside chic Free People fringed capes and Jeffrey Campbell shoes. Come for the selvage denim by Asbury Park, stay for the conversation with fashionable locals and the store’s energetic staff.
